High-Flavor Low-Fat Frozen Treats
While indulging in an occasional Dove bar (260 calories, 17 grams fat, 11 grams saturated fat) or Ben & Jerry’s ice-cream bar (240
calories, 16 grams fat, 10 grams saturated fat) is a decadent pleasure, any of these lower-calorie, lower-fat options can substitute as the
next-best thing. The calorie and fat savings make any one of these a super summer staple.
